KNOW HOW DOCTORS SAY YOU HAVE HIGH B.P.{HYPERTENSION}???

In India ,statistics show that we Indians are suffering from two medical conditions which long for many years in an average man's life span from the time it attacks us&such conditions are called CHRONIC medical conditions,they are DIABETES{sugar disease}and HYPERTENSION{high B.P.}.

Here concerning issue is that it doesn't show very early in one's life but shows up at the age of 'say' about 40 years but with advent of western food culture,diseases too are advancing before we reach the age of 35 years now-a -days.point to be noted here is that it stays as our friend life long and makes us in such a way that we cannot eat food items with high amount of spices,salt,sugar and fat.Imagine your diet without these basic ingredients.That is the pain it gives....that too life long.

so today I want tell you about the basic info as how these medical conditions are known to doctors from your reports.Here it is your duty to take care of your own body,so you too should know how a doctor confirms that you are suffering from DIABETES or HYPERTENSION.

let's see them one by one along with pictorial representation for making yourself clear about everything.

HYPERTENSION:

we do say it in lay man terms as HIGH B.P.

it is measured by an instrument called spygmomanometer.

after taking your blood pressure{b.p.},a reading will be noted by the respective medical practitioner

u observe a fractional figure,for example 120/80 mm of HG. but there is a range in which we doctors do say its normal and that range is :

NORMAL  :   90-120/60-80 mm of HG

I think now u can get a clear idea by looking at the above picture.

after measuring your b.p. if it is between the range mentioned above then its absolutely normal,and of course a slight addition of 10+ or a difference of 10- is ok, so no need to worry about that.

but if a b.p. measurement lies in range of  >140 on upper part of fraction or >100 in lower part(either of reading abnormal is enough) tells you that u are at risk of HYPERTENSION.

 Before coming to a conclusion b.p. has to be recorded at 3 different time intervals to say that u are suffering from high b.p.

{for example if your b.p.is recorded on 28-3-2013 for first time and reading is abnormal then again it should be recorded on 01-04-2013 and again on 05-04-2013 to confirm that you are having HYPERTENSION(high b.p.)}.see that you are checked on 3 different occasions because sometimes due to physical activity involved in going to hospital /fear then our b.p.tend to rise under normal circumstances. 

1. this is normal measurement

2. this is abnormal

  

I think now you know what causes high b.p. and how generally doctors measure this condition.

NOSE BLEEDING and its management

Today let's take up another component of life ,that is AIR.One is generally deprived of airway due to  defect in main organs,HEART,LUNGS AND NOSE.Obstruction or Disease that causes irritation to these organs manifests as LIFE THREATENING COMPLICATIONS.so please recognize them on first hand first-time basis and be careful....DON'T NEGLECT the only human life gifted by GOD.

Let's take NOSE and look at the most common manifestation i.e., BLEEDING FROM NOSE which is called EPISTAXIS.so first-aid that should be done before getting it too complicated is as follows:-

1. Pinch the nose with thumb and index finger  for 10 min and u can carry it on until bleeding stops
2. do not bend bend your head backwards ,u should bend forwards so as to prevent pooling of blood    in throat ,which furthers complicates the situation .

3.apply ice pack on the nose which stops bleeding by constricting(pressing) the arteries(blood oozes 

   out from these things which are 5 in number in the nose)

4.  have a cotton piece/any clean piece of cloth  placed inside the nose so as  to prevent the loss of  
    more blood from nose.

5.In medical shop u will get  a topical nasal decongestant OXYMETAZOLINE,spray it into your nose

  for the same reason that it constricts the arteries and stops bleeding(take pain to do this thing 

  definitely)

THIS IS THE FIRST-AID TO BE FOLLOWED WHILE BLOOD OOZES OUT OF YOUR NOSE.YOU CAN JUST ADVICE ANYONE YOU COME ACROSS WITH SAME PROBLEM ,SAY :

•  ROAD ACCIDENTS.

•  PREVIOUSLY SUFFERING FROM B.P./HYPERTENSION

•  PREVIOUSLY IF YOU HAD ANY BLEEDING ISSUES

• NOSE PRICKING WITH SOME FOREIGN OBJECTS and

• RUBBING YOUR NOSE RIGOROUSLY TOO CAUSES NOSE BLEEDING OR

• ANY MEDICATIONS YOU ARE USING FOR A LONG TIME LIKE 'WARFARIN' OR   'HEPARIN'

• IF WOMEN THEN ANY PREVIOUS MENSTRUAL PROBLEMS.

                            ' SO IDENTIFY YOUR CAUSE AND REACT ACCORDINGLY'

Most common cause, at some times is just a vague one but next main thing is HYPERTENSION/B.P. in which  you feel your head banging / dizziness, then definitely  u should go to E.N.T specialist and also compulsory reference with M.D.(physician) is required to rule out every cause to this disorder of nose bleeding.I am now taking pain again to say that you should refer to specialist I mentioned above to rule out the cause because many a times people neglect thinking it its just once in a while.

BLACK SPOTS ON FACE--HERE'S THE REMEDY

Here is one tip that clears black spots on your face which will be taming your glamour at times while you are ready for clicking some pics for yourself.

1.mix 4 SPOONS  of  BUTTER MILK with 2 spoons of TOMATO JUICE and apply it over your 

  face,keep it for 15 min and then wash your face

                                                                     (or)

2.mix one spoon of HONEY with 2 spoons of ONION JUICE ,apply it over your face and wash    

   after 15 mins.

REPEAT IT EVERYDAY until dark spots go away from you.You can consult DERMATOLOGIST if its been a long standing problem for you.generally in tropical country like ours this appearance is quite common in persons who are allergic to sunlight. sometimes genetic causes,nutritional deficiency or any medications you are using right now for a long time also create a situation like this.so identify the cause and act accordingly.

                   FOLLOW THE ABOVE MEASURE AND MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY.

FIRST AID FOR LOOSE MOTIONS/VOMITING

Friends , as you know the 3 main components of life are AIR,WATER AND FOOD....so let's start with the FOOD component.

We when eat vigorously at a party or in some unhygenic places or eating too much spicy food , we are bound to suffer from diarrhoea(motions)/vomitting,sweating severely.In that case the first thing u need to take care is about your BODY FLUID CONTENT which u lost in the stools.so here's a tip you can prepare all by yourself at home while taking rest from work in order to re-fuel the lost fluids through sweat,vomitting or loose motions.ORS is the first-line treatment in this illness

ORAL REHYDRATION SOLUTION,this is what we call it and u can prepare it as described below

preparation:

1. Clean Water - 1 litre - 5 cups
2. Sugar - Six  teaspoons
3. Salt - Half teaspoon
4. dissolve the contents completely in the water and take it regularly until u feel recharged.

Follow the instructions as it is exactly with no increase or decrease in quantity of ingredients.

The above name 'electral' is the one you will get in medical stores and u can mix it in 1 big glass of water and take it until you are alright  in case u do not have access to the above things i said.Drink plenty of water even though it didn't regress.

If it is severe then u should go to a PHYSICIAN for further advice.but in fore hand u need to follow the above instructions before u get fatigue and unconscious(in some cases).

u can now advice children/old people /your parents for the problem of vomitting / loose motions.

Tab LOPERAMIDE {2 tabs at a time} if moderate/severe, is immediate remedy before going to a doctor nearby.don't neglect your health.its precious to take birth on this planet, so protect yourself.
